Fellow Travelers

So as I promised a while ago, I'm going to give you the low down on Dead until Dark, the 1st book in the SookieStackhouse series.

Overall I really enjoyed the book, but it is always a little awkward to read a book after you've watched a movie or television show based upon the book. Almost everything in the 1st book is in the television show, True Blood, however some of the things are different in the book than the television show (but I'm not going to tell you what).

First off, this book is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the Twilight series. That was a teenage love story, this is an adult love story, and by adult I mean, sex, drugs, and vampires and all that entails. But I really liked it and would recommend it.

I started the 2nd book and I find that book even better, probably because that story is completely new to me and hasn't be touched on in the series yet. I highly suggest the series.

And in honor of my 300th Post last week and my love of a new book series, I'm giving away a copy of Dead Until Dark.

Yes, that's right a free copy of the book, and maybe, just maybe, a couple of little extras for all you fine folks.

Do what do you need to do?

YAY!! I love a giveaway and I'm really glad you did this post because I really liked the True Blood show, I watched every episode and can't wait for the new season (I don't think it comes out until next summer though)

I was a little hesistant to read the books since I had already watched the tv series but having read your review I would love to now!!

I just finished reading this book too (so don't enter me in the contest)! I thought it was really close to the series although I was surprised that some of the main characters in the hbo series weren't in the book. I guess they had to add in a few extra characters to stretch one book into a whole season. I thought the people that were cast were very close to the descriptions in the book, but that's probably just because I watched the series first so that was how I visualized the people when reading. I can't wait to read the second. Hopefully, I'll be starting it next week!!

You know, I saw the first episode of True Blood at my bro's house, but do not have HBO at my abode so never watched again. I would love to read the books - they usually are better than tv/movie versions! Great giveaway!

oh thank goodness. i have been at a reading standstill since finishing TWILIGHT...i just absolutely loved that series and have since just been twiddling my thumbs waiting for another good series to come...i hope this is it. i have never even heard of it or the tv series...i'd better get on it! another AMAZING series is the tatianna and alexander trilogy...check it out, great story. ciao!!

I've been wanting to read these, so yay for your giveaway! I plan on ordering all of them, eventually. I'd like to read them before I watch the show, which is not available on HBO on demand yet...so I have some time. Glad that your enjoying them!

Hey! Congrats on the 300th post!! :) I am a new reader (just started following yesterday [1/28]) and I am really enjoying your blog so far. I heard all of the talk about the Twilight series but I didn't read any of it. However, I have seen an episode of True Blood while at a friends house and my brother & sis-in-law watch it as well. Everyone talks about how good it is, but I don't get HBO so not much watching for me. I'm excited about your giveaway! I think it's a great idea :)

I'm glad you liked my Skittle shot!! i had a blast on that shoot!!! What an adventure! I've been looking for a new series to read..i LOVED twilight...so I'm anxious to turn it up a notch with this series!!!
